Glory Daze Motorcycle Show in Pittsburgh, PA, has quickly become one of our favorite annual events in the world of custom motorcycles. Founded by Kurt Diserio of Pittsburgh Moto in 2019, the show takes place on “one groovy weekend” in late September at the 42-acre, 170,000 square-foot Pittsburgh Brewing Company campus — home of the sponsor Iron City Beer.
This year, our friend Zane Cook of Z Cook Media (@zcookmedia) not only had a bike in the show, but he was on the ground shooting for us. We’ve already published features that include choppers and bobbers, trackers and scramblers, and cafe racers and drag bikes from the 2025 show. Now there’s just one more can’t-miss part of the Glory Daze to share: the Trippy Ten Helmet Art Show, sponsored by Torc Helmets.
“Classic motorcycles and custom paint go together like peace and love. Every year for Glory Daze, ten far-out artists are provided a helmet to paint for a groovy exhibit at the show.”
The 2025 Trippy Ten artists included Aaron Anderson, Jay Bird, Dan Bliss, Wren Compton, Alex Connor, Travis Fowler, Justin Isaacson, Keaton Lee, Matt Spahr, and Stephen Sturm. We’ve got the helmets from each artist below. What’s your favorite — let us know in the comments!
